This Korean soup uses a couple of skills that are good to master. One is making a suitable soup stock and the other is how to saute some vegetables. The rest is just construction and everyone can do that. It is my mom’s and my take on Kahl Gook Soo ( 칼국수).

This does taste best on the bbq grill, but if you cannot grill outside, then use a roasting pan and broil it in your oven.

Growing up, kimchi was a part of my daily life. I loved kimchee back then and would ask to eat in non-traditional ways, like with fried chicken or pizza. In fact, a Saturday ritual for our family was my mom making homemade pizza for the family; I would demand that she also put some kimchee on the table. I’d take the big chunks of kimchi and place it on top of the pizza and just gobble down slice after slice. It was the perfect pairing for me.

This is my mother-in-law’s signature dish. In her hands, simple ingredients of beef, green onions, chili powder and garlic become something complex, delicious and far greater than the sum of its parts. Seasoning each component ensures that your dish is flavorful and well seasoned and not salty.

Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup (Samgyetang)

By Hisoo Shin Hepinstall, Growing up in a Korean Kitchen: A Cookbook

This is a one-of a kind traditional Korean soup. Revered as medicinal soup, there are many specialty houses where it is the sole item on the menu. Traditionally, each whole spring chicken is boiled in its own clay pot, then is served, boiling hot, directly from the hissing flames to the table.

You will need to plan ahead as you want to marinate the meat for at least 8 hours, if not overnight, but I know that this will make a great party meal.
